Although, if you haven't noticed, you must drive a short distance on gravel to get to it... Welcome to Sask. Where we have gravel, grain, gravel, and more gravel. Now you know why i have mudflaps on my car?...
That sucks...How far of a ride on gravel is that? Dya think I can just go super slow?

I bought the mesh in a big roll from a company in the states, sold some to Juan, Maj and Wes. I still have about 4" square left over, but shipping would be a bitch me thinks. Home Depot has some nice "Fast and Furious" looking mesh under the aluminum box tubing that should work too. It's got bigger and flatter diamonds that you should be able to paint

Yeah, I still have quite a lot of it let. I have to decide if I'm going to finish off my grille or do something else. My temp fit came completely off the other day in the wash.. now the only thing holding it in is the Chevy badge, lol.

Yea, I'll get some up in a few days. I'm still trying to decide if I want to paint the pillar to match the stock interior, or leave it black. I think since I have all black gauges I like it in black, but it looks out of place, kind of.

Oh yea, it's only maybe a half kilometer or so. I've done it, and i'm sure the other Stoon Cobalts drive slow on that section too. It's not far, you can see the tower from highway 11.

Would you be able to possibly wire it up to my amp?? How much would it cost yeah to do that for me?? I got some of the wiring from when it was in my old car still kicking around, would I use that still??
I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT,IS THE AMP ALREADY WIRED IN TO THE CAR? IF NOT YOUR GOING TO NEED A LINE INVERTOR FROM ADVANCE OR VISIONS.THE ONE I HAD WAS LIKE $50 FORM ADVANCE.IT GETS WIRED INTO THE REAR SPEAKERS AND THAT IS WHAT SUPPLIES POWER TO THE PRE-OUTS IN THE INVERTOR. LET ME KNOW AND WE CAN TALK

I'm hoping to get my Interceptors fully wired today, since they're only temp installed currently. I need some quality wire taps cause I don't want to start splicing the factory wires...

I'm probably making up a name for it.. so he's a picture!

I have better wire taps than those and lots. if yours taps ever fail than just let me know.

Raced a black ss/tc today I forgot to mention. I pulled about 3 1/2 cars on him from a 40ish roll. Kind of a improv race but I shut down around 120.

I havent decided if im sold on the new rims yet. But the brembo brakes are brilliant

Look what rolled into the city this week....


Apparently it arrived in town on Monday. Owner says there was a crowd of nearly 500 people at the dealer when it rolled off the trailer. First one in town.

I really doubt anyone from Lockport had one a month ago... lol...
Either way, they claim this was the first one to a Winnipeg dealer, perhaps out outside the city got one before hand, who knows.

Would have been no more then a month ago though, since the first ones rolled off the production line June 11th. Factor in the usual 3-4 week shipping time, it makes perfect sense for the first one to show up right about this time.
